What is the Ambassador Program?The ambassador program is a relationship program focused on educational excellence and leadership. Ambassador members are part of a community of educational leaders recognized for successful implementations of programs such as SRA Open Court Reading, Reading Mastery Signature, and Corrective Reading, resulting in reading success for all students. Ambassadors will explore new ideas, seek new ways for students and teachers to succeed, and communicate each path to success to their peers. This includes working with each other and McGraw-Hill Education to provide the best products possible, to bring fresh ideas to historically successful programs, and relay this messaging to schools and educators who will most benefit from Open Court Reading, Reading Mastery Signature, and Corrective Reading.
New members to the Ambassador program must have solid, first-hand experience with these programs in order to be accepted, since our mission is to showcase best-practice examples of what educators are doing in classrooms.
With this in mind, please consider where your talents and expertise would best be showcased by making selections from the following 5 areas of focus.
RESEARCH AND DATE
Are you a data guru? Then we would love to hear more about how you use research and data analysis to increase student engagement and performance. Research projects are open to a diverse range of subjects, looking at how to increase student performance.
